Janet Jackson announces Rock Witchu Tour

The iconic performer will pull from her celebrated collection of music which has sold over 100 Million albums Worldwide

Janet Jackson, who has undeniably influenced pop culture with over a 100 million album sold, countless hit singles, awards and accolades, announced the launch of her Rock Witchu tour on the Ellen DeGeneres show yesterday afternoon. This is Jackson’s first tour in over seven years and is expected to feature the hit songs and innovative dance routines that have made her one of the most celebrated artists in history.

The Live Nation produced tour kicking off in Vancouver, BC on September 10th, will feature dates in DC, New Jersey, Oakland, Montreal, and Toronto to name a few and is expected to hit major markets as it travels across the country. Tickets go on sale for the first shows beginning Saturday, June 7th, and are available at www.livenation.com . Confirmed dates are listed below with more dates to be announced shortly.

Jackson’s Rhythm Nation 1814 tour was the biggest selling debut world-wide tour in history. The tour solidified her status as a trailblazing entertainer with cutting edge choreography, unparalleled stage production, theatrics and spectacles, winning over audiences across the board and breaking global box office records along the way. She wowed the world with over 100 performances in 90 cities. The first international shows were in Japan, where she sold out the Tokyo Dome (48,000 capacity) with four shows in seven minutes, creating the record for the fastest sell out in the history of the Tokyo Dome.

Citi cardmembers will have access to presale tickets beginning June 2 at 10am ET through Citi's Private Pass Program®. For complete presale details visit: www.privatepass.citi.com . "We are excited to offer Citi® cardmembers special access to the newly-announced Janet Jackson 2008 tour ," said Vik Atal, Chairman and CEO, Citi Cards. "The tour is a great example of the benefits of our alliance with Live Nation which enables us to provide our cardmembers with once-in-a-lifetime experiences through our unique Private Pass Program."

Jackson has launched, www.JanetFanClub.com , a dedicated tour website for the Rock Witchu Tour where the public can sign up for access to presale tickets, exclusive content, contests and worldwide community of Jackson fans and more.

Jackson has left an indelible mark on pop music selling more than 100 million albums and as a female artist having achieved the number one spot on Billboard Magazine’s Top 200 Album Chart 6 times, is among the top 3 of all time for a female artist. She is the only performer male or female to be nominated for Grammy Awards in each of the Pop, Rock, Dance, Rap and R&B categories, and the first female recording artist of color to be nominated for a Producer of the Year Grammy. With literally hundreds of awards and nominations from everyone from the American Music Awards where she holds the title for most nominations from one album, MTV where she was awarded the first ICON award, or the Academy Awards, Golden Globes, Radio Music Awards, World Music Awards, Billboard, Rolling Stone, NAACP, etc the recognition of her musical contributions are astounding.

Since Janet has class and is a normal person with morals I am sure she will change her fans regular prices for her concerts unlike untalented and homely Madonkey.

Janet can give an interview and come across as a real decent person unlike fake
Mandonna who had to go to Kabballah to be programed like a robot without feelings (listen to Hard Candy and you know a robot "sang") that.

2006… Madonnas Confessions Tour becomes the highest grossing tour for a female artist ever… 2008… Janet steals Madonnas look from the Confessions tour… Janet may copy Madonnas look but shell never set out worldwide…

SarahLeon says – reply to this

47

Yep! Janet looks very Confessions tour, by Madonna. Well I seen Janet live, and she always did the same thing every tour and would mix up the music or nothing. Boring, ill never waste my money again especially when she lipsyned most of the show and when she did sing a balled she let the audience sing along most of the song. LAME. It was the Same style of sound, Same Boring choereoghrapy, only new about it was the wardrobe and Name of the tour. I hope Tina Landon is FINALLY our and a new producer directs and new music director cause other than that she would do goood. But she has to sing most of the Songs to make it more enjoyable. And drop the Innocent shy crap already. We know its a only a part of your but NOT ALL YOU ALL THE DAMN TIME IN PUBLIC and TOURS!! DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT Already!!!!!
His says – reply to this

48

P.S Janet has not and never will try and be Madonna..they have different styles completely..for you children that may not know, Janet has sold millions of albums..doesn't matter that this one didn't do well..she'll still have a sold out tour. She is full of talent and for you children that choose to dog her, get a life and wonder why you don't have what she does..You have no class to diss hers..makes no sense at all.
Carla says – reply to this

Re: Haters There is enough room up there for both Janet and Madonna they are both unique and have their own styles. But when it comes to performance and dancing you can not be serious in comparing Janet to Madonna. Janet would outdance Madonna any day of the week, what does Madonna do apart from yoga moves and gyrating her crotch hardly call that dancing even her back up dancers, dance better than her… Can,t think of any current artist who has been inspired by Madonna dancing or videos but Janet on the other hand has been copied by so many i.e. Brittany, Ciara, Beyonce, Christina Agueillera etc

zilla says – reply to this

Choose to like who you like. Personally I like Janet and she needs to copy no one she is a trendsetter and a original, regardless of what anyone thinks. She is iconic and needs no introduction. Janet you're the baddest chick!!!

I know who,s concert I would rather spend money on at least I will be getting the real deal. Madonna can not dance plain and simple. Any one who thinks otherwise I would beg to differ I certainly would not pay 350 dollars to see the woman with no talent any one who does more fool you what is she doing for you….
Jay says – reply to this

64

First of all I kinda like madonna however her Hard candy album is not all that. She tried to get Timberland to reproduce what he did for justin T. ( note to madonna did not work ) That 4 mins to save SHIT is wackkkkkkkk. Justin timberlake could not even save that WACK AS RECORD. Next Janet Jackson puts on a much better show than Madonna ever did. Please like madonna is 50 and she does like ZERO dancing. Now with all that said Madonna has got the nerve to charge 350.00 for her tickets in this economy. That is because her ass is so FUCKIN GREEDY. Janet keep doing your shit I gots your back. FUCK MADONNA

Lolita Deville says – reply to this

76

This is great news and it seems by everyone's comments that they are also so excited about it! She will not disappoint, she will put on a good show…although I have to be honest, when I saw her "All for You" tour, the night I saw her in San Diego, she seemed a bit laaazzzyyy in the way she was dancing, not at all as passionate as her dancers. So hopefully she will kick it into high gear this time.

for those of you saying that janet copied madonna's look in this pic just goes to show how stupid you are and how very little knowledge you have of janet's career because you are so up madonna's ass that it is pathetic….janet did the equestrian look first back in 1990 during rhythm nation…..nothing but pathetic haters always reaching for something that is not there or relevant. If you don't believe me look up the tour book for rhythm nation

Madonna fans are so vile always there to critisize artists other their own non talented Madonna she has blatantly copied trends and styles over the years Goldfrapp being one of them. If you compare both music and videos you will know what I mean she has blatantly ripped of her style. I can only hope she is doing something for you all apart from taking your money and laughing I bet she wouldn,t give you the time of day if she was to meet you in real life, probally call security and have you carted away as you all appear mad to go on an artists page who you do not like just to critisize and argue a pointless point JANET RULES IN ENTERTAINMENT!!!! and I will not be wasting any kind of money on that whore who,s only claim to fame is opening up her legs…
